Matlock is the county town of Derbyshire, England, situated in the southeastern part of the Peak District. The town developed as a spa town in the 19th century, when the healing properties of its thermal springs attracted visitors from across the country. The town's Victorian and Georgian architecture reflects this prosperous period, with many historic buildings still standing today.

Matlock's cultural heritage is closely tied to both its spa town history and its role in the industrial revolution, particularly in terms of textile manufacturing and limestone quarrying. The town is surrounded by beautiful limestone cliffs and is home to the Peak District Mining Museum, which preserves the area's rich mining heritage. The Matlock Bath Illuminations, an annual event dating back to 1897, showcases the town's ongoing commitment to cultural traditions. The town also serves as an excellent base for exploring the cultural and natural attractions of the Peak District National Park.
